Castles, waterfalls and market towns fill the steel engravings of Wales Illustrated, the picturesque tour published by Jones & Co. from drawings by Henry Gastineau. Each view came with historical and topographical description, and the issues here date from the 1830s to mid-century. Flint Castle, Harlech, New Radnor and the waterfalls near Tan-y-Bwlch are among the subjects, with ruined fortifications and religious remains seen alongside working towns and routes through the mountains. Fishing boats, carts, figures and bridges set the buildings and scenery in an inhabited landscape.
